Lol Jesus died suffering on the cross because God is a JEALOUS GOD and Jesus let the fact that he was a prohpet go to his head and started claiming he was God. smh
Imagine worshiping a jedi popsicle man as God, when your own Bible says not to worship men or idols lol.

I always wonder about what night happen if various religions were true. Perhaps if time were an endless cycle like as in Buddhism, and reincarnation were true, and the only true escape was attaining nibbhana.
I do this both as an amusing mental exercise and also as an empathic one: I lived a long time as if Islam were true, and it affected my perspective very specifically.
Christianity is an interesting one.
What would Christ think if he walked upon these times?
He would see great distress. He would see a world with resurgent hate. He would see a planet engrossed in materialism, plagued by greed. But above all, he would be disappointed by how much we could be. He would be disappointed in how we have we have disappointed ourselves, how far below our own standards and potential as humans we live.
But Christ the Redeemer, he would see in us the beauty we are capable of. The genuine compassion we can feel into one another, because the spirit of love is still within us. The world gets ever brighter with these sparks of divinity, and Christ would see hope. Christ would see that in all the ugliness of the world love, ever present, still prevails. God damn us, and Christ would see redemption. He would tell us to act to our highest ideals, to act as if we lives in the world we wished to live in, and not be brought to ignorance by the transgressions of others.
Christ would weep and then he would smile. He would see in us the flame of compassion and know that he need not intervene, for we are capable of the highest good, and try as we might to convince ourselves otherwise, it always prevails, even after our darkest moments.
